The Stable Cure.

was not little startled the other day
at meeting on the street in the best of
health apparently IN old acquaintance
whom had supposed to be filling con-
sumptive's grave long ere this. The last
time that heard of him was about year
ago, and then he had been given up by
the doctors as o hopeless case. con-
graduated him on his recovery, but must
confess that my nveliest emotion In regard
to him was one Of curiosity. In answer
to my inquiries he told me that when the
medical men had exhausted their re-
sources he determined to put in practice
plan of his own. Accordingly he jour-
neyed by easy stages to the Blue Mountain
region of Virginia, where he established
himself in a farm house, and bought
horse. He spent the whole day in the
open air, taking care of the steed himself,
and riding him about the neighborhood.
At first he told me his weakness was
such that he could not stay in the saddle
more than fifteen or twenty minutes at
time, and he had to pull up very soon If
the horse broke into trot. Every day,
however, he became little stronger, and
in o couple of months he was able to ride
ten or twenty miles on stretch with very
little fatigue. He attributed his recovery
in part to the fact that he not only rode
but groomed his horse and busted himself
m hour or two in the stable every day.
In this opinion he confirmed what re-
member hearing an old physician say
years and years ago, namely, that a
'thorse barn" Us he called 1t, is one of the
healthiest places in the world. For those
who love horses the stable cure would be
such pleasant one that physician who
prescribed it might be sure that his in
structions would be followed to the letter.

trhy BARRIERS Die Young.

'sBarbers die early" remarked West
Side member of the tonsorial profession.
ssWhy sop inquired a friend. !
"Oh," remarked the barber, !, the bust
ness will kill almost any one who sticks
to it for few years. Occasionally you
will find barber who has grown old in
the business, but they are rare. Men may
boss the business and live to be old, but If
they. work at 1t every day regularly they
will not live out half their allotted life."
"Is it on account Of the work being 80
laborious2n he was asked.
s'No, the work is not hard, but the
hours are long. Saturdays frequently
put in twenty hours, and some other days
fifteen. This does not give man suff-
cient rest. Then the work must be done
standing, and to stand as many hours as
we have to, though there was no labor at
all attached to it, is enough to break down
any man. But that Is not the worst
feature about 1t. The inhaling Of foul
breaths often causes diseases of the throat
and lungs. The breath that some men
have is awful. It is absolutely poisonous.
A barber almost necessarily inhales these
bad breaths and contracts disease thereby.
have made 1t practice to stand at arms
length from my customers, and I thus
avoid inhaling their breath to great ex-
tent. This Is not the common practice,
however. The average barber bends over
his man, and if he has diseased breath
he gets the full benefit Of it. Yes SIR"
said he, with sigh, and he turned to go
away, ''there are few shorter lived pro-
fessions than that of the barber. Chit

How Creolea cook Craha,

The creole style OF cooking hard shell
crabs is highly approved by epic,lres, but
it doesn't recommend itself to Mr.. Bergh's
society for the prevention of cruelty. A
big iron pot is put over very hot fire.
The bottom of the pot is then covered with,
say, three pints of the best white wine
vinegar, into which few pinches of salt
are thrown. Upon this is sprinkled red
pepper. Then two or three narrow sticks
are placed above the liquid, the ends rest
ing at the sides of the pot. The cover is
put conveniently by for hurried action.
Then the live crabs are packed in to the
full and the cover is put on. The steam
of the condiments soon enwraps them, and
when the carapax is cardinal red, "a dish
fit for the gods" is ready for the refriger-
ator and then for the table. It is said by
those who have eaten crabs cooked in this
peculiar way that the natural moisture
and flavor of the meat are preserved and
that the boiled condiments give singular
piquancy to it. Baked tomatoes partly
stuffed with crab meat is q new delicacy,
and juicy tomato with layer of crab
meat cooked creole style isn't so bad. It
is called yum-yum and is fully entitled to
its suggestive designation. York

Tho Only Laughing Animal.

Tor my part I am convinced that, in
every one of our perceptions of the comic,
humorous or ridiculous, there is ON ulti-
lyzed or defined by anything else than
can our ideas of truth and goodness. But
however this may be, 1t is abundantly
evident that NIL human laughter (other
than that due to the mere physical influ-
ences) includes distinct intellectual ele-
ment. This is laughter in which no
mere animal shares. The anthropoid apes
are by far the most like man Of all brutes,
and very bright and lively adult speci-
men-a chimpanzee called Sally-is now
living in the gardens Of the Geological
society, of London, and is remarkable for
the readiness and dexterity with which
she has learned to perform number Of
tricks.
At my request number Of expert
ments have been made to see If she could
be got to give any evidence of percep-
ton of the 1udicrous. For this purpose
her keeper arrayed himself in various un-
usual and brightly colored garments and
went through number of absurd ges-
lures; Sally was evidently interested in
his appearance and inspected him with
care, but, as evidently, did not realize the
humor of the situation. Indeed, her
keeper twho is an extremely intelligent
NAM assured me that he has never de-
tected anything in her demeanor which
he could set down to O perception Of the
ludicrous, although she has very marked
and definite ways of expressing her feel
ings Of Joy, anger or disappointment

once wrote little tale in half On hour
and would then have been glad to sell 1t
for SIS. Ipeddled it to nearly every paper
in the United States and Canada without
avail. When about to cremate the story
q new paper appeared. I offered my sketch
and had the pleasure Of correcting tho
proofs two days later, conscious that the
following week would bring ME $36, the
plates and the copyright of my sketch.
AS long as the paper existed I was one OF
its most favored contributors. And now
an odd matter in connection with that
sketch. The editor thought it worth
covering by special copyright Two hun
dred and thirty papers considered the
sketch good enough to risk violating the
copyright, and among the 230, 1876 had de.
clined the story in the two preceding years.

staa1nfioattnR on the Ntrs,

The steamboat method Is unique, de-
scribing travel on the Nile. The post Of
Captain Is on the bow. On the bridge the
second officer stands. Two miles ahead
the captain discovers shoal water and q
sand bar bent on mischief,
The captain cries out; "Affa speed!',,
There are no signal bells, SO the second
officer receives the captains warning and
cries III turn to the pilot: "Affa speed!"
After mature deliberation the pilot shouts
down to the engineer: 'Affa speedl"
The shallow water is entered by this time,
and the sand bar rapidly approaches.
Captain-"Wady easyl,' Second officer
-''Wady easyr' Pilot-"Wady easyl"
Engineer-"Wady easyr' The sand bar
bravely stands its ground.
Captain-"stop' Second officer
'tStopI'' Pilot-"stopr'
Passengers, one and all in unison
ssStuckI''
The pilot and engineer light their pipes
and praise Allah for lis goodness, while
the small boats are sent ashore with ropes
to be tied TO all the fellahin farmers to be
found, to help pull the boat off-usually
IN operation of six or seven hours.
On such occasions the dahabeehist
wishes for wind. A "running boy'' is
often put ashore to "run' to the nearest
telegraph station to request any steam
boat coming along that way to bring help.
Usually the running boy'' is picked up
before he finds any help.
One Of the sights of the return voyage
is the constellation of the southern cross.
If. the manager of the boat is kindly he
will ring the dinner bell Of your cabin
door when the constellation rises-say at
5 q. m.-and at the top of his voice shout:
"Southern cross, please" And the same
Greek will at the proper time request all
to 'remain perfectly quiet, for we ore
about to cross the tropic of cancer. "--
